Join Headmaster Keith Chicquen online Thursday, May 28 from 7:00 - 8:00 pm GMT+1, along with Erica Herro, Andrea Balazs, and Bill Brooks.
While we hope it won't be necessary, we are preparing our fall remote/distance learning model. The team will discuss the technical platform(s) that will be used and what a "typical" schedule will be for our youngest learners and our middle schoolers. They will also discuss the relevant social/emotional needs of students and how important it is to remain connected as a community.
